Review by Kim Robinson on 19th August 2007
A very large, very intense level from Fernando - Lunar Crossroads is the 6th installment in his Orbital Oblivion episode. Featuring two independent subway systems, open architecture on a grand scale and more level-altering explosions than you can shake a stick at, this level is sure to be a winner for even the most seasoned of Dukers.
I won't divulge the map's storyline - I'll leave that for Fernando in the text file below, but as always it's your mission to head in there, explore and exterminate. Weapon and ammo powerups are generally given when you most need them, however if you find yourself wandering about with maximum health for too long, be sure to watch your back for nasty surprises. Attention to detail is quite good - there's plenty of nice shadow work and in all the design follows Fernando's trademark 'original' layout. Lighting effects are all in there - shoot out a light panel, expect to see the room start flickering. Every last 1024 sectors are used up, without going over - so there shouldn't be any nasty compatibility issues.
In short, an excellent map. Take a gander!

After a turbulent ride blasting asteroid debris, Duke finally reaches the moon and finds a small launch pad to land.
